The People's Republic of Lvaria is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 3.806 billion Lvarians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tbilisi. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Lvarian economy, worth 82.5 trillion Olers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 21,665 Olers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government hopes austerity will lead to prosperity, power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, and photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Leader's bedroom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lvaria's national animal is the swan, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lvaria is ranked 233,968^th in the world and 3^rd in Prehistorica for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 29.33 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
